CATANExplorers & Pirates Board Game Expansion - Set Sail on Epic Adventures! Strategy Game, Family Game for Kids and Adults, Ages 12+, 3-4 Players, 90 Minute Playtime, Made by CATAN Studio

Catan at Its Best – A Must-Have ExpWe absolutely love this expansion! If you already enjoy Catan, Explorers & Pirates takes everything to the next level. Instead of building on one island, you're sending ships across the sea to discover new lands, collect spices, catch fish, and defeat pirates — it’s like five adventures packed into one game.We played with 3–4 people, and every session was totally different. The added missions give you more ways to win, so everyone can choose their own strategy. It’s still competitive, but with even more depth. I especially like that the robber is gone — no more stolen cards — and the new gold system helps balance out the luck of the dice.Yes, it’s a little more to set up and learn, but once you get the hang of it, it’s amazing. The pieces are great quality, the rulebook is clear, and the variety keeps it from ever feeling repetitive. This expansion completely refreshed the game for us. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a richer, more adventurous Catan experience!ansion for Fans!

Bought it as part of a wedding present for a couple that loves CATAN. It was one of several CATAN items on their registry. I understand CATAN was part of their family game nights growing up, so they wanted to keep the tradition going in their own home.Arrived on time and in great condition.

Fun expansion pack for Catan!

Regular Catan is probably my favorite board game ever. This extension is also really fun. It is definitely a learning curve as a lot of the game changes. But the core of the game, trading and trying to win, is still there.

I love Catan. I have loved Catan for many many years. I decided to finally get Explorers and Pirates to be able to play with my brother and nephews.This is the first Catan box I have ever gotten where the punch out cards pulled significantly on the game tiles and token pieces. This was just a mild inconvenience.After punching all the tiles out, I began counting and verifying pieces. My red set of pieces is missing the Pirate ship and has an extra Settler. My white set of pieces has a ship that is missing a whole arch on it. (I did add pictures below for reference)I'm not necessarily mad or anything. I do love this game, and would hate to see for the quality of it to decline as one of the leaders in board games. I do also want to say that I know these game pieces tend to to be rather pricey to replace, especially if you just opened the game.Other than that, thank you Catan for your repeated enjoyment and many many laughs throughout the years. I look forward to many more.

We love this expansion! With so much more to do now, it makes the game more challenging! My kids really enjoy that.

Great addition, read the rules before drinking tho as they can be confusing

This is a fun expansion pack to play alongside original Catan. The coolest thing is that there are endless possibilities of play with the expansion pack. It has five scenarios of play which are each uniquely different. So you essentially are never playing the same game twice. It does take a while to play through and has a lot of rules but the possibilities are endless. A good buy for the Catan lover.
